Author Linda Van Soest Tintle’s New Book, “Multisensory God Connections: Actively Growing Closer to God,” is a Guide for Readers to Deepen Their Connection with God

Middletown, NY, February 07, 2023 — Linda Van Soest Tintle has completed her new book, “Multisensory God Connections: Actively Growing Closer to God”: an impactful guide that suggests practical ideas for connecting with God throughout busy days, ways requiring more involvement and more mental focus.

Author Linda Van Soest Tintle has had the lifelong passions of family, helping others, being active in the church, and maintaining a close relationship with God. She is a former special education teacher who has taught in numerous settings and with diverse populations, including public institutions for persons with disabilities, public schools, private homes, and day-care facilities for early intervention, as well as at a university where she taught prospective teachers.

She thoroughly enjoyed her past experiences of teaching children and young adults of all ages, from age eighteen months through the graduate college level. She is a wife, mother of four children, and grandmother of seven grandchildren, who are all sources of great joy in her life.

Linda Van Soest Tintle discusses the inspiration behind her work, writing, “Several years ago, I had a growing desire for a closer connection with God, as my relationship with God was being crowded out by all my responsibilities. I started to think of ways I could focus on some spiritual qualities throughout my days of teaching, being a wife and a mom of four children, as I also increasingly became more involved in the care of my aging father. My sporadic morning and bedtime devotions were not enough to provide the relationship I wanted.”

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Linda Van Soest Tintle’s new book offers spiritual learning ideas, which address individual differences in learning styles and types of intelligence as opposed to the same methods for everyone.

Readers can purchase “Multisensory God Connections: Actively Growing Closer to God” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Principled Technologies Compares the Decision Support System Performance of a Dell APEX Solution and an Amazon EC2 Public Cloud Solution

Durham, NC, February 07, 2023 — Enterprise decision-making increasingly draws on big data. The decision support systems (DSS) organizations use for their big data initiatives analyze large volumes of information to generate actionable insights. The more current these insights are, the greater their business value. This makes performance a vital criterion for those deciding where to run their DSS workloads.

Principled Technologies (PT) tested a decision support big data workload in two environments with comparable specifications: a Dell APEX Private Cloud solution with Dell APEX Data Storage Services Block and an Amazon EC2 public cloud solution using c6i.16xlarge instances with Amazon Elastic Block Store storage. They found that the Dell APEX solution outperformed the Amazon EC2 solution, taking less time to complete queries and achieving greater throughput rates. The test report states, “The Dell APEX solution completed a set of decision support queries in 13.6 percent less time than the Amazon EC2 solution. It also delivered 24.8 percent greater read throughput and 19.2 percent greater write throughput. These performance advantages could put actionable insights into the hands of decision-makers sooner.”
